[PATCH] powerpc/xmon: Add option to show uptime information

It might be useful to quickly get the uptime of a running
system on xmon, without needing to grab data from memory and
doing math on struct addresses.

For example, it'd be useful to check for how long after a crash
a system is on xmon shell or if some test was started after the
first test crashed (and this 2nd test crashed too into xmon).

This small patch adds the 'U' command, to accomplish this.
